First time I bit and raised my bid, second time I looked at it, it was more than 4x the original bid range!!! My ad is not getting any play. This seems like usury! Now I'm looking around to see how many other people this has happened to. My bid range was .60 - .90 now 2 days later it's .93 - 2.62 WHAT!!! Yes same thing happened to me.

To start with we had around 3-4000 impressions and no click throughs, then i broadened the criteria and now we got 45000 impressions with 18 click throughs. great! i was paying 31p ppc now i just noticed they suggest i up my bid range to 54p! i mean why is this? because people are actually cliking on the link? i can;t believe it, it feels like they have set a price and then moreor less doubled it overnight. i have decided not to do anything for today to see what happens. i'll let you know :) thanks. sam hi, thanks for posting this. i just did a search as i have just started using Fb for advertising our online portal in the UK.
